We had two wonderful days and nights in this beautiful house with very nice people. The nature around is very interesting. Thank you,

About halfway through a vacation in Kerala, we were fortunate enough to have booked a short 2 nights stay here from the start, we knew we had found a special place. Luigi & Edhose made us feel so welcome, and such attention to detail made us feel that we had booked into a Taj Hotel ! Best of all was the food - We really enjoyed Kerala cuisine, but the food here was better than any other place we stayed. The only problem was that we could not finish the huge portions that were served. The overall tranquility here was also special. The perfect place to get away from it all. No TV, No Internet, just peace and quiet. We have to come back and stay longer. Thanks Luigi, Eldhose & his wife. John and Sue, USA

Brilliant & wonderful they could not do enough at this lodge, they took us out and made us feel like real explorers not tourist. So much wild life and beautiful birds and wonderful food. R.Y., England

Had an absolute fantastic time, the hosts were fabulous, as they took us out on boat trips, seeing the rare wild elephants, the birds and walking us through the village, we felt at home and we were made to feel comfortable. Would want to come back. Thank you again Luigi & Eldhose. I am sad to leave.Thanks again.

The Lodge itself is a romantic gateway for two, or a temporary home for a family while exploring Periyar. Birds abound - Kingfishers, Hornbills… nice ! Canoe ride a must! The Kerala cuisine was a highlight. Views of the Periyar river + local people using the river was wonderful. Luigi looked after our every comfort. A very gracious person. We hope to be back! Thanks for everything.

Thank you so much for everything. We had the most wonderful time on every day of the trip. Food was fabulous, service was extraordinary, and wonderful care and attention from Luigi and his staff. Everyone was so consistently attentive and we enjoyed every moment of this extraordinary Homestay!!

What a lovely peaceful and spectacular setting. We were made so welcome by Luigy and his staff. We loved the food and our room left nothing to be desired. The highlight was the evening boat trip when we saw turtles, a very rare eagle, monkeys and evidence of the presence of Wild Elephants. Thank you!!

Lovely place, lovely people, lovely food, lovely country. We felt totally at home. Thanks to the caring and the kindness of Luige and Eldhose and their family. Besides, we really enjoyed every activity and possibility to swim in the clear water of river. A dream like place and stay. We will recommend it to our friends. Thank you all.

Lovely house. Very relaxing. Service was excellent. Not used to such pampering. Pleasant, lovely place, friendly atmosphere. Thanks.

Comfort is a feeling of contention when you have what you really need and luxury is what you get more than what you really need. Simply and plainly, I was luxuriously comfortable here. Thank you. Anuj Nair, Special Correspondent, Hindustan Times

About half way through a month long vacation in Kerala, we were fortunate enough to have booked a short 2 night stay here. From the start, we knew we had found a special place. Luige and Eldhose made us feel so welcome, and such attention to detail made us feel that we are booked into a Taj Hotel. Best of all was the food. We really enjoyed Keralan Cuisine. But the food was better than any other place we stayed. The problem was we could not finish the huge portions that were served. The overall tranquillity here was also special. The perfect place to get away from it all, No TV, No internet, just free and quiet. We have to come back and stay longer. John & Susan Sutherland, .

Had an absolute fantastic time, the hosts were fabulous, as they took us out on boat trips, seeing rare wild Elephants, the birds and walking us through the village. We felt at home and we were made to feel comfortable. Would want to come back. I am sad to leave.
